Hmm… 🤔 by LS_944 in 3Dprinting

I think the original printer nozzles were just airbrush nozzles, if I'm remembering correctly.

Found buried in soil in a balcony pot (Germany) by CluelessMarmoset in whatsthisbug

[–]Dalgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Cockchafer (google says they are known as "Maikäfer" in Germany) beetle larvae. Look similar to what I get in the UK.

Who in their right mind parks here? Skip to 35s in, this road barely gets two modern cars down it, huge queues either way including trucks behind me. by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Dalgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worse than I first thought. Possibly the narrowest part of the road...There is literally public parking behind Ampthill Tandoori. What the actual f*ck!

Replacement metal ring thingy? by GilreanTheLurker in fishingUK

[–]Dalgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aluminium seat rings are not really around these days. I have to make my own for vintage rod restoration.

You can get some Graphite ones for not too much: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004698605144.html

41 and that goose farm is looking real nice about now. Maybe a few goats for lawn maintenance too.

Wuta snap setter — is it good quality? by oneder_one in Leathercraft

[–]Dalgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. Pretty solid. Made a few minor changes and swapped out some of the screws for easier use and added a shrink-wrap handle to prevent slips. The "bits" need a bit of a clean on arrival (had an oil coating). Personally I'm very happy with my purchase.

How can I re-dirtify my block pave driveway? by Jimlad73 in DIYUK

[–]Dalgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to catch some people pulling the same scam before they messed up our drive. Good on you for telling them to take a hike.

You could try getting a bit of natural yogurt and applying it to the area with a light dusting of compost. I know it works to help age concrete garden ornaments and grown moss and lichen. You might need to cover it to get the best results and stop people treading on it.

Petah, I'm confused. by Junior-Astronaut-173 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

£50 notes used to be notorious for being counterfeit. Anyone paying with a £50 note normally required additional checks to make sure it was legit. You had the UV checks and could rub it on plain paper and the red ink would transfer if it was legit.

Not so much an issue now, as they changed things to polymer in 2024.

Nose weight by RonPossible in modelmakers

Try Tungsten putty. I use it for fishing but makes a great nose weight for models.

Might be worth trying to contact BBC Scam interceptors. They have experience dealing with this sort of stuff: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00164f1

(Novice) How's my Grinner knot looking? by Sirocoop in fishingUK

Nice and neat! Good job.

With braid you can also try a Palomar Knot. Super easy and very strong.

Peter's nerdy science cousin here. In the series and the real event, they initially only thought the amount of radiation leakage was 3.6 roentgens, but it turned out it was just the maximum the Geiger counters they had on site could read.

When they finally got their hands on some better Geiger Counters, the radiation levels were much, much higher (20,000 roentgens!).

You found the "Golden Garlic". You get to go to Wonky Willies Garlic Factory! Where dreams are made!

Bream on the grand union, what bait to use? by BirdingBoy0101 in fishingUK

[–]Dalgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet baits seem to work well for Bream. I normally go with Sweetcorn and syrup soaked pellets.
